I am here to proudly tell you two things: my entire work wardrobe is 95% polyester (for those who may be confused...this means 95% of my wardrobe is 100% polyester and not what you were thinking.) AND the polo shirts I found at WalMart are 100% percent polyester and quite badass.
In addition to the shirts being 100% polyester, there are two more things: they have a dri-wick feature to you cool AND they feel just like a couple silk shirts I own. I never wear the silk shirts. Dog claws snag an $80 silk shirt I'd be pissed...dog snags a $12 polyester shirt, I just go to WalMart and by another one!
The best thing about polyester nowadays (does that make one sound Old, saying that?) is that it does not fade!! I have had some great cotton shirts and pants in the past that after 4 or 5 washings the blacks were turning grey and the reds were morphing to pink. The vibrance of these shirts I have now doesn't change...AND, the super best thing>>>>
They do not shrink! Hot water, too high a dryer setting, nothing affects the size. Only one drawback, and this is mostly on the pants...if you get a pair with a hard crease it is a bitch to get out. I had to take mine to the dry cleaner and have them pressed to get the factory creases out. I'm talking about the sideways creases you don't want.
For those who have a WalMart near you I recommend you try the GEORGE brand of polo 100% polyester shirt. They come in yellow, orange, purple, black, red, dark-bright-light blues. I got one of every color (about 12). For $12.97 a shirt you cannot beat it.

Here are a couple pictures of this man's wardrobe that brightens any room I enter.

So the next time you need a cheap, cool, bright polo shirt...I strongly recommend the George brand. It is it not your dad's polyester.
And you are welcome!

Don't think I can do my clothes shopping at WalMart...
I've got a couple of these for playing tennis, even though they were labeled as "golf shirts" @ Target. I'm also a fan!
Alex: Normally I would agree with you, but I got some Faded Glory shirts and Puritan shorts that were cheap and fit well. I have a bad habit of ruining high-dollar clothing at a speed in direct proportion to the cost (higher cost = fast ruin).
Milo: I absolutely wear these to play golf. The dri-wick feature makes them nice in this Texas heat and humidity.
It sure makes choosing what you are going to wear on any given day a cinch! I'm happy to say that because I'm not working, your outfits would be dressing up for me. I don't think I've worn long pants 10 times in the past couple of years.
I don't often buy new clothes, but when I do, I prefer Costco!
My last paying job was in the cash office of my neighborhood Wal-Mart. I was there for thirteen years. Needless to say most of my everyday clothes came from there. Between having inside knowledge of the best clearance prices and my employee discount I dressed my whole family very cheaply.
The George line is an excellent example of good quality for a reasonable price. I could name a few others as well.
I know the reputation Wal-Mart has and agree that some of it is justly deserved but not everything in or about Wal-Mart falls into the classification.
Hi Chuck .. I bought a few things from the George brand - but I can't wear Polyster or any mix of it even now .. so it's cotton or nowt = it HAS to be cotton!!
Cheers enjoy the weekend .. Hilary
Pat: I would like to be happy and say I'm not working...but I can't.
Rita: Well said. There are some good deals to be found at WalMart and quality ones too!
Hilary: So you are one of the ones I mentioned who cannot wear it huh? That's fascinating to me. Although I too enjoy the comfort of cotton! My bedsheets are cotton.
